THE PREDICTION

World number 12 Belinda Bencic hit the ground running this season to pick up WTA titles in Adelaide and Abu Dhabi but she is playing her first match back since suffering an injury in the Charleston Open final. The Swiss finished runner-up to Ons Jabeur in Charleston but excellent results over Jessica Pegula and Ekaterina Alexandrova suggest her level should still be strong enough to avoid an upset here against world number 134 Elina Avenesyan, who is making her debut at Roland-Garros as a lucky loser after falling in the last round of qualifying. The 20-year-old recently won a Challenger title on clay in Germany but she has drawn one of the form players on tour this season. Back Bencic to win in straight sets.
